Why not use a redis or memcached for counting downloads and writing those batchwise to the database?
Because we aren't currently running redis or similar in production, and this isn't something that justifies adding to the stack.

In that case, just parse the access logs and update the counts that way

That's been investigated and there's a variety of reasons we can't do that. Either way the actual write of each download is not causing any issues. 100% of our performance problems are in the background job which updates various other caches

We will eventually need to do something like this, but we're nowhere near that scale. Our only perf issues are in background jobs to update various caches, which would be just as slow (or slower) if the counts were in redis
